Description

Chester is a comprehensive platform designed for independent pet-care professionals such as dog walkers, pet sitters, groomers, trainers, and those operating boarding or daycare services, available on both web and mobile. It integrates various essential functions like booking and scheduling management along with maintaining detailed client and pet profiles, health records, care documentation, and messaging options for client communication. Furthermore, pet owners have access to a portal where they can request services and receive updates about their pets. Providers have the capability to establish recurring appointments, bundle services, issue invoices, track payments, and utilize Stripe for online card transactions. Following each service, they can provide clients with report cards that include notes, photos, and videos, while also attaching GPS routes for dog-walking updates. Additionally, Chester offers team collaboration features such as staff assignments, role-based permissions, shared calendars, and payroll reporting. A complimentary tier is available for those managing up to five active clients, while premium plans offer benefits like unlimited clients, card payment facilities, and enhanced team management tools, making it an invaluable resource for pet-care businesses. This comprehensive approach ensures that both pet-care providers and pet owners benefit from streamlined communication and management capabilities.
